(Read a comment on my previous thread and it got me thinking)

I always lock the bathroom door, but I think that's just a habit because I lock it even when there's no one else in the house.

I would possibly wee in front of oh but never have done.

As for anything else - hell no.

He's pissed with me in the same room countless times but I draw the line at him having a shit whilst I'm brushing my teeth, or in the bath etc.

In a way I think it can almost kiss the romance.

no some things just are not for sharing.

weegiemum · 10/01/2013 23:48

No.

Never.

But my kids - try and stop them coming in!!

fosterdream · 10/01/2013 23:48

NEVER, even when heavily in a long labour with DD1 and he had to help me go the bathroom I told him to turn around as "I still have my dignity".

SparkleSoiree · 10/01/2013 23:49

Nope, never. There has to be some air of mystery about life somewhere even if its just bathroom habits!

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 10/01/2013 23:49

I did once but it was an absolutely direly urgent necessity and I was mortified.
He was in the bath wallowing and I was ill, ill I say and had to go right now and just burst into the bathroom and onto the loo, with my eyes averted to the wall (and it's not like I've never seen my husband naked Hmm so goodness knows why) and told him I was going to be there Quite Some Time and that there was no way on Earth I was going to wipe my bum be able to finish off with him there. He got out of the bath and vacated for me bless him.
Weeing with people there doesn't bother me one bit, they can't see anything anyway. Even in crowded pub toilets, I will use the cubicle with no door on just so I can jump the queue because hardly anyone else ever seems to be able to go in view of passers by so to speak.

TraineeBabyCatcher · 10/01/2013 23:49

Weeing I'm not bothered about doing in front of him, but number 2s should be done alone.

Dp seems to think that he needs to tell me when he's off for a number 2. Even though I've told him I really don't need/want to know.

nannyof3 · 10/01/2013 23:51

Oh come on....
Wink

Weve both pee'd and poo'd ShockGrin

PaellaUmbrella · 10/01/2013 23:51

Weeing yes. Pooing no.

stargirl1701 · 10/01/2013 23:52

Yes I have weed when we lived in a farm cottage with one loo. We now have 3 loos so I don't.

Never pooed.

TraineeBabyCatcher mine is the same.

He told me quite proudly today that he'd had a "shit, shower and shave" in half an hour.

I could wee with him sitting in the bath next to me. I couldn't manage a poo, even after all these years.

insertsomethingwitty · 10/01/2013 23:52

No never.

DoodlesNoodles · 10/01/2013 23:53

No, but I could pee in front of him if I really needed to.

shesariver · 10/01/2013 23:53

Its no big deal for DH and I, for both.

500internalerror · 10/01/2013 23:53

Have once, when I needed help after an op. I hated it, would never again. I'm not remotely prudish, but some things just aren't necessary!

Spuddybean · 10/01/2013 23:53

Wee - yes. Changing tampon - yes. Poo - no, definitely not.

i take it it was my comment that got you thinking Grin !

TraineeBabyCatcher · 10/01/2013 23:55

He will do things like get up off the sofa and say 'I'm just going for a shit'. I really don't see the need. He knows this. He's been told that if he really needs to say something then say 'I'm going to the loo'.

Why they feel the need to tell us I have no idea?!

chickensarmpit · 10/01/2013 23:55

I have never pooped in front my my OH, i won't do one if he's in the house!
I have a weird thing about it Hmm . We've been together for 15 years and he's forever bursting into the bathroom while i'm in the bath to poop Shock

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 10/01/2013 23:56

Does anyone else think that it is totally amazing how Mam's arse hitting the toilet seat immediately triggers a desperate need for the toilet in all her children?
Especially in a one-loo house (or anywhere where there are less toilets than there are mother and children added together)
The instant I get comfy, at least one and usually more of my DCs is dancing on the landing shouting they "need a wee" or "am desperate for a POO" and although I can get away with telling the boys to "pee in the bucket in the kitchen" if they're that desperate I think they just like peeing in the bucket, rod for own back and all that when I once told DD she'd have to hang on and didn't believe she really needed yet another wee she peed in my new fluffy slippers that were on the landing... Hmm

MerylStrop · 10/01/2013 23:57

No no no
Nor do I put on my tights in front of him
Otherwise no mystery
Although I did poo prolifically in front of him whilst in labour. But that doesn't count.

kissmyshineymetalass · 10/01/2013 23:58

No never and I wouldn't like it if he did either.I used to no someone who would hold her DP cock while he pissed and shook it off for him,I have no idea why and he would wipe her after she had pissedConfused

Trinpy · 10/01/2013 23:59

Sometimes. If one of us is in the shower and the other one is desperate.

Only wees though. You have to draw the line somewhere Grin

cantspel · 10/01/2013 23:59

words fail me....why?

MrsAFlowerpot · 11/01/2013 00:03

No no no no

Smellslikecatspee · 11/01/2013 00:03

As we both have bowel problems, meh, half our lives are sitting on the loo.

But never ever wipe in front of him, somethings have to be left to imagination Grin

Oh and the tights jumpy up and down thing; never. . .
